I enable higher education and charitable organisations to develop strategic communication and relationship building programs that energise multiple stakeholders around a community building agenda. - As Special Projects Consultant at South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) I’ve championed funding bids for 3 project teams in 12 months.- As Director of Marketing & Communications at SAIIA I ensured the Institute maximised its voice and reach internationally.- As Head of Communications at University of Johannesburg I supported the institution to achieve its marketing aims.In 2016 I relocated to Bath from South Africa. I’m now looking for organisations and projects in the education and charity sector where I can contribute strategically and operationally to help them engage and develop their community presence and contribution, for example to:- Develop Alumni programs to reconnect with ex-students to support current students and the institution goals.- Enhance donor engagement and community visibility for charities and not-for-profit organisations.- Gain support for new projects such as youth work, research or buildings. People value my skills in: - Marketing & Communications – to advise strategically and deliver operationally.- Higher Education and third sector – to develop and communicate the culture of long established and start-up organisations.- Gaining support for projects – from patrons to funding, as third sector organisations need to be financially sustainable.My underlying mission is to help all people get a good education whatever their background. This motivated my work with youth and education in South Africa, such as setting up Unitech (now Marketing, Advancement and Communication in Higher Education). If you, or someone you know, would like to discuss the contribution that strategic and genuine two-way communications can make to build communities then please get in touch via jonathanstead20@gmail.com.

Director Of Marketing And CommunicationSouth African Institute Of International Affairs (Saiia) Nov 2006 - Jun 2015South AfricaI joined the staff team to run the marketing and communications department in 2006 having been involved with SAIIA since the 1980’s, first as a member, then as branch chairman, and finally as a member of the Council and its executive.To provide some context, there is a critical need in Africa for quality independent policy research that can assist national governments and multilateral organisations. Unfortunately in the developing world there are many issues that prevent cutting edge new research from reaching its target market. At SAIIA I brought together all market-facing activities and built a multi-disciplinary team that was able to develop a strategic communication plan for the institution. SAIIA has been recognised in the University of Pennsylvania’s annual Global Think Tank survey where it was ranked leading think tank in sub-Saharan Africa by its global peers for 5 successive years. I’m pleased and proud of the contribution of my team towards achieving this recognition and for the impact it has had on public servants, executives and the communities affected by decisions taken on the back of this research.Initially I had responsibility for 2 functions and 1.5 FTE staff but over a period of 5 years was asked to take on responsibility for more areas until all marketing and communications interfaces of the institute went through me. The department resource to support this had grown to 14 people. Our remit included membership, events, media, website, publications, youth development, library and branches.
